For anyone on the fence about this transformer: I realize this is a very positive review but I just wanted to add my 2 cents. I have about 300 transformers (about 12 alternator and 5 alternity) and this is one of my favorite transformers I own period. My wife happened to bring him back from Japan for 30 bucks - I probably never would have bought him otherwise. He is a perfect homage to G1 and just drips with quality. He is totally worth the $50 price tag he commands. What a wonderful suprise.
just bought myself the Bumblebee years after seeing this video, re-watching it now makes me want the Cliffjumper even more, didn't realise he had a a different head and that red paint is just fire
I love this figure, even for his $50 cost, but he is quite a pain to lock into place during the robot-to-car transformation. There are much wider gaps in his car mode now after a single transformation and back than there were when he was fresh out of the box.
After I did it a couple of times I made them sign an agreement of concession to that particular point. (That stuntman look-a-like was so worth the $50!)
I was a bit surprised by how small these are, too. I ordered a Red Alternity Prime a month back and was expecting it to be closer to Alternator size. It's a bit shocking to actually see that they're closer to Deluxe size.
Y'know with Masterpiece Sideswipe recently released, Alternity Cliffjumper & Bumblebee actually scales quite well with Sideswipe! That is a reason why people should get these 2 Alternity figures especially who knows if we will ever see a Volkswagon licenced Bug Transformer, although I am not quite sure what type of vehicle the original G1 Cliffjumper was and whether or not if that was a Volkswagon vehicle?
Hi Vangelus, could you maybe do a reverse transformation video from robot mode to vehicle mode? I'm having trouble fitting the front wheel section back into the car :(
Cool review. Cliff is pretty good in design and....HOLY CRAP! IS THAT GAOGAIGAR, TENGEN TOPPA GURREN LAGANN, AND A GLODIMARG JUICED WITH SPIRAL ENERGY AND GAR?!
I Feel i'm watching your videos for different reasons now i used it. I.e pure enjoyment. If i can withstand the withering onslaught of your boundless enthusiasm, then i feel that i have the strength to continue...to not buy overly expensive toys that while intriguing, hold only a cursory interrest to me.....engineering porn ftw...
Do not be afraid to take on such a review!! >:O We know you can do it. We believe in you. So believe in us, who believe in you but more importantly believe in you who believes in us who believes um... wait where was I ?
Awesome. I would buy one now, but unfortunately money's tight... Plus, he's not interdimensional, and all the others I have are animated... : / still cool though.
That paint is gorgeous, but I still think it looks ugly as sin. I'm surprised how reviewers are nice to this mold which is incredibly expensive and doesn't really look any good in robot mod. But oh well, glad you enjoy it, not wasted money if you do :)
just got alternity bee today, and this video was a godsend during the transformation and early play. i was so worried i might break him!
Scream subtlety? Isn't that an oxymoron?
Screams subtlety? Best irony I've ever heard.

"Scream subtlety." Nice. XD It sounds like the name of a punk rock single.
It really looks a lot better in person- like Classics Rodimus this guy is just not photogenic. XD

Me likey! The size of the mold actually suits the character down to a fine art!
I got the bee version and then an actual swift a few months later, love them both.

@taburde On Imageanime in NY[they also have a site] they have the convoys, megatrons and questers for 55. The bee and cliff were sold out.
It was translated a few weeks ago, I think there was a frontpage item on TFW2005
He is quite the figure, a very detailed one to boot. Superb review as always.
Yet another sparkiling review, goes without saying relly. Good man.
At the moment, the best of the Alternity of the line. Even with Seeker characters announced.
if he wasnt so small i would get him thank you for showing the size comparison i almost orderd this one
This reminded me the announced that new prequal game a few weeks ago. So who's looking forward to it?

Pretty sure Jazz ended up with a waist swivel, dunno if he's the same line as I think there's 2 lines with the weird alternate modes.
I have yet to get this beast of a transformer. i only have 1 figure from the Alternity but so far i am loving it.
They retail for just over $50 in japan, so it's not very likely
Very funny, witty, entertaining and informative. Good man!
I'm surprised that the subtitles didn't make a jab at "Vangelus jumping over a fence"
Cliffjumper was the first transformer I ever owned. Ahh the good old G1 days.
I wonder if the cannon for the Universe Cliffjumper fits this one.
i still need to get myself an alternity convoy, great review once again internet personality.
Gotta love Red Cliff. He's even got his own movie.
Hi Vangelus, could you maybe do a reverse transformation video from robot mode to vehicle mode? I'm having trouble fitting the front wheel section back into the car :(
I love that red finish.
Annnnddddddd.....you just sold me. Mr. Wallet, I believe you need to weep a little more.
Makes me want to go out and buy one now.
Yeah, I thought Cliff's colors suited him more then it did Bumbles as well.
he's like the iron sheik of robots
Agreed, agreed, and AGREED!!!
Sorry Mr. Wallet!
Best line of transformers ever. Do a google search. Human Alliance also homages it with their scale and interior details.
$75 USD would be a bit much IMO, unless it'd cost that much w/ shipping for you anyway
It's pretty good mostly due to his tough hip ratchets.
Cliff's mean, he called me a chump :P
I wonder if they'll bring alternity figures to North America... the 'premium' human alliance figures seem to be doing well, so we might get lucky :)
Awesome! Toy looks good. Thanks for the review :)
Oh! Automaton Toys might be cheaper for you if you're in Canada. :)
I'm wondering how he matches up with Classics Sunstreaker and Prime in botmode.
Looks to me to be a pretty good looking bot. Great review. 5*
SHIT YEAH!!! should be the response to Shin Getter and co.
Alterinity...
Looks almost as realistic as Bayformers and more aesthetically pleasing!
5:33, oh, so thats why you weren't approved by hasbro into making their commercials, 🤔 🤔 🤔...
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" oh god I lol'd
Cool review. Cliff is pretty good in design and....HOLY CRAP! IS THAT GAOGAIGAR, TENGEN TOPPA GURREN LAGANN, AND A GLODIMARG JUICED WITH SPIRAL ENERGY AND GAR?!
I haven't bought either of those yet, I'm afraid D:
nice review
Alternity line is way too good... i will sell my binaltech collection just for this little guy here
Any chance you might get and do a review on Chouginga and Arc Gurren Lagann? Since you do have TTGL and Gurren Lagann if I recall correctly.

Awesome figure! I feel kinda bad for old Cliffs, always being a Bumblebee-repaint.
Do not be afraid to take on such a review!! >:O
We know you can do it. We believe in you. So believe in us, who believe in you but more importantly believe in you who believes in us who believes um... wait where was I ?
I have an idea for your Safe Guard review.
'JetFire! JetStorm!' SYMMETRICAL DOCKINGU!'
Awesome. I would buy one now, but unfortunately money's tight...
Plus, he's not interdimensional, and all the others I have are animated... : /
still cool though.
Please review that gurren lagann!! Thank you.
it looks shockingly like my Scion xD... as a matter of fact, I'm going outside to check on my car
no 75 canadian...on BBTS i saw it for $55USD so i guess ordering from them would cost about $75 canadian also
Unbuilt in a box! >:D
Nice review
oh sweet!! thank Vangelus! :)
I didn't mean actually afraid, I was adding a formal suffix. XD
Very Nice Figure!, it looks so Sweet!!!!!!
WHEREZ UNICORN GUNDAMZ?!
Anyway, Tomato man here looks damn sexy, although the lack of CHROME really is.. oh nevermind.
its official cliff is a badass!
Screams subtlety eh?
Did you ever purchase Alternity Megatron?
i saw Bumblebee at a comic book store for $74.99, do you think it would be worth it ordering Cliff and pay that same price?
oh . . . ok . Your "D: " face kinda threw me off. :P
excuse my while I go bury myself out of embarrassment.
That paint is gorgeous, but I still think it looks ugly as sin. I'm surprised how reviewers are nice to this mold which is incredibly expensive and doesn't really look any good in robot mod. But oh well, glad you enjoy it, not wasted money if you do :)
Is there somewhere in the US that U can get this for under $30?
It's all the junk in dat badonkadonk trunk.
Meh ¬-¬
XD nice I love the sketches you but into reviews man
X3 actually
Red makes things faster.
where did you read the bio for this guy?
dang its suzuki awesomee
Hes name is Cliff? Not Cliffjumper?
it's A bigass tit :O
alternity is just a rip-off of alternators, they were cheaper bigger and werent exclusive to japan and the underside had no robot parts on the bottom
What scale is alternity?
SPICY MEME LORD Deluxe.
1/32 scale, specifically. Most Deluxes are about that size.
Why Japan!? Why!? :'(
hhhAAAAAAAAAA
nah
alternity is just a rip-off of alternators, they were cheaper bigger and werent exclusive to japan
@allycliftonsucks Alternators were a cheap ripoff of Binaltech =P
